Near Colorado Springs (Painting as of October 29, 2021)



This is my painting-in-progress as it looked last night when I finished working on it.  I am working from a photo that I took during a trip to Colorado in 2018. (My painting reference is posted here, October 19.)  I am experimenting with adding collage elements (torn tissue paper) and then painting into them (so maybe I should call this "mixed media"). In any case, there is a lot of learning going on, figuring out how to blend the collage with the paint, how the paint interacts with the pasted paper, etc. But last night I finally started to see the path ahead as the mountains began to look the way I want them to look.
